This is a great hostel with nice and helpful staff even with the interpretation errors. The beds are comfy and warm.The food and drinks were good. The hostel isn't in old Dali, but it's so close, it doesn't matter. Great value. Would stay here again if I come back.

They have Dr. Pepper and fresh baked cookies. You don't have to pay for towels. Cozy beds. Very clean. The staff is soo nice! They have a nice little cafe. It's right by all the happenings in old town Dali, but it tucked away and quite. The staff can make all your wildest dreams come true... or at least they are very helpful in all the adventures you want to go on or things you need help with.

This place is quiet yet well-located. Our triple room had a balcony and plenty of space. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food and drink is good and well priced. Rooms are clean and nicely decorated. This is a great place to stay in Dali Old Town and highly recommended.

The property was conveniently located near Dali GuCheng - where the tourists sites were. I loved that the place was really easily accessible and had an outdoor grove-like area that was fun to sit around.

Ancient chinese environment. We stayed in a double bedroom. The room is beautiful and really comfortable with extra facilities of making your own chinese tea leaves provided and hair dryer provided. Very quiet place. The staffs are really helpful because they guide and take us personally to board a bus to the train station as we are short of time, unable to speak Mandarin and read Chinese!

The wonderful girl at the desk. Could not have been sweeter. Very helpful, and gave me a double room all to myself when I only paid for a dorm room. Was very quiet when I was there, did not see many other people (good and bad).

Staffs are so friendly, cheeful young chinese people who take care of customers with great hospitality. Super close to the old town yet away from the noise, tucked in a little alley. Very good value for money.

With this hostel being so cheap, we weren't too sure what to expect. We were very happy with what we got.
From the minute we arrived (at a silly hour of the morning!) the staff were incredibly friendly and very welcoming... till our last day when they were trying to help us fix our computer
The dorms were clean and beds were very comfy - however, there isnt full walls between dorms so you can hear everyone when they aren't asleep.
The bathrooms were also clean with warm water - however as they have squeezed a lot of toilets and showers into a small space, it is difficult to sit on the toilet with the door closed.
The hostel is in a fantastic location, just outside rhe city wall, however it is difficult to find - hopefully they will have a sign post soon!
For the price, this hostel is fantastoc and we would deffinetly stay here again.
